Luxury barge vacations

La Dolce Vita cruises on the Venetian Lagoon and the canalized Brenta River in Italy. Guests visit Venetian landmarks such as the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's, and also sail along Roman trade routes to the nearby islands of Torcello, with its ancient mosaics; Burano, with its lace museum; and Murano with its glass blowing. Near the end the boat passes Renaissance palaces on the Brenta River.
